Joan Chamberlain Quick Facts
Joan Chamberlain is an author, therapist, and life coach with over 30 years of experience helping adults, couples, and teens. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Business and Finance, a Bachelor’s in education, and a Masters in individuals, couples, and family counseling. Her book, Smart Relationships , has helped many people achieve the self-awareness needed to see themselves honestly. Its wisdom has helped them work toward improving their relationships with themselves, their friends, and their families.
“Joan Chamberlain is a godsend,” says one client. “My wife and I would still be stuck in one spot, racing at top speed but going nowhere, if it weren’t for her. It is because of her that our future is no longer some uncertain, scary eventuality that we hurtle toward, terrified. She has a way of cutting right through the nonsense to the very heart of our issues, guiding us firmly – but with great care – toward a happier and more fulfilled us.”
A kind and inspiring therapist, coach, and teacher, Joan is dedicated to helping others expand their understanding of who they are, where they’re going, and how they are going to get there. She believes that knowing oneself is critical for success. Understanding how our personalities are both unique and the same is the key to what makes vibrant relationships of all kinds work, and to how we can turn out balanced, emotionally-wholesome children.
“Passion is knowing what you want and never stopping until you get it,” says Joan. “My passion is working with individuals to help them explore their inner life, to maximize their talents and to lead fuller, more alive, more contented lives.”
Joan Chamberlain lives in Chesterfield, MO, with her granddaughter Tiffany, and continues to counsel individuals and couples, all the while publishing a website, books, and paper for those wishing to maximize their happiness.

“I first visited Joan Chamberlain when I was fourteen years old. I am now twenty-eight, and for over half mylife I have depended on her counsel and guidance to help me through the hardest
times I’ve experienced and the toughest decisions I have had to make. As a youth, I had opportunity to appreciate
her warmth and compassion, and now as an adult I have grown to appreciate her
honesty and keen insight into the layers of personality, belief, and relationship
that make each of us who we are. Joan is
a very professional counselor and skilled author, but more importantly she is a
skilled observer, teacher, and friend.”

life. I am ete
ally grateful to you.”

Respectful Talk, Negotiation and Compromise
A Deeper Look at Relationship Talk. Just as there’s no crying in baseball, there’s no arguing in committed relationships. Yes, there’s disagreement because we’re all different. Yes, there’s discussion if our views are different. But, within the discussion there’s respect. Then, there’s negotiation and compromise. Ed and Lisa came into my office and as they sat down, we started talking. Their son, Don, 20, is looking at universities in Califo ia and Pennsylvania; he wants an environmental degree.

A Deeper Look at the Comfort Personality. Sue is a stay-at-home mom, so she doesn’t work outside her home.
